>decide to a create a new Diablo game and try to revive the genre
I hope you feel silly saying that out loud because it is. It is not a Diablo game, it is a grindy ass china made microtransaction infested cash cow of a mobile-MMO with a Diablo skin on top. Presenting that as a "Diablo game", as you do, as they did on fucking Blizzcon of all places, they deserved every bit of ridicule they got and then some.
Chase Howard
But they aren't spending any money on patches nor did they develop immortal. They outsourced it to the Koreans
Henry Clark
No wonder that video game companies dont give a fuck about gamers anymore. Gamers are entitled brats that will never appreciate the amount of money and time that is invested in the development of games. Hope Stradia takes off.

just google "endless of god", it's made by the same company that's ""helping"" Blizzard for Diablo Immortal :^)
Jack Lewis
just google crusaders of light. same developer, same layout, same everything. except diablo icons slapped on top of it

on top of it even chinks hate the developer. i remember i saw some kind of interview with some chink who said that
Easton Adams
>decide to a create a new Diablo game and try to revive the genre
There are already a ton of mobile Diablo clones that exist in app stores, each one is just a micro transaction cash grab. The only difference with Immortal is that Blizzard's name is on it.

OP you know he was referencing the joke that blizzard made years ago (2014) about making diablo mobile right? an April fools joke. it was pretty justified if you know the history.
I swear, they sit there on stage and are like "MOBILE DIABLO AREN'T YOU EXCITED" when they WELL fucking knew nobody asked for it. You could have asked a hundred people at that blizzcon before hand, or at any vaguely gaming related event, wherever you expect your target demographic to be at, ask a hundred people "hey would you think of a mobile diablo game" and 80/100 would have said "fuck off" and the other 20 would have went "maaaaybe, if they don't fuck it up". It's not a thing to be excited about for anyone. And they can not possibly NOT know that, like I would have to assume them to be pretty damn fucking stupid to be THIS unaware of what the players are looking for.
They aren't that stupid. They are just greedy fucks who thought, eh, the scummy chinese cash cow devs are proposing a potentially lucrative offer so let's just go for it. This isn't their "grand vision for the next chapter of diablo", or whatever their marketing mumbo jumbo was. This is an experiment, and the initial reception was about as bad as they could have hoped for. Can't come as a HUGE surprise either though.
Adrian Fisher
No, they targeted the Chinese. The entire point is China, they just need Westerners to know about it so they can say >IT'S BIG IN AMERICA!
Gabriel Morris
>to develop Diablo Immortal They developed jackshit and reskinned a fucking chink game
Even the chinks who programmed it fucking hate Blizzard
Elijah Peterson
actiblizz is in control now. blizzard has no long-term plan. titan was cut short, OW has no shelf life and no future to expand into. it's clear activision doesn't trust them to deliver on a larger vision.
Levi Reyes
corporations are not your friends, user. Also, you can or not buy their shit, it's a free market.

why would you not defend free shit? are you retarded? You can also, not use it, it's free.

>Months before blizzcon Blizzard tells diablo fans to get hyped. >All diablo fans are excited and eager for a sequel. >Like two or three days before Blizzcon blizzard tells them to tone down the hype. >Then they only announce a mobile game a huge dick to all diablo fans. See if blizzard didn't hype all diablo fans all of this would have been avoided. They are to blame.

Jacob Smith
Who gives a fuck how much money a company choses to spend or not spend on a product? Your gratitude begins and ends with the money you chose to spend on their products. Is it an American thing where you start to empathize with a corporation and act like they're your friend?
Nicholas Hall
$2 in BlizzBucks has been added to your account, OP! Keep up the good work!!!
He was right to ask. It was a fucking joke, just like your mom not coat-hangering you.

Nah, it's just typical fanboyism when fans treat success or failure of a corporation as their own because of how much money and time they spend on it.

they're limiters. if he had taken them off, the entirety off blizzcon would likely have been APM'd to into oblivion
Leo Gray
they didn't though, it's a ripoff of a chinese mobage that existed before it called Endless of God
Tyler Powell
>Wtf is wrong with gamers? Why was this nigger so rude?? He's just being a typical gamer user. The only difference is he decided to do it in a real life QnA panel instead of anonymously on the internet.
Thomas Allen
Blizzard actually did announce a Diablo mobile game as an April Fools' joke one year, so maybe he was wondering if they were doing that again.
